First run-ins with autism? - When did the curse first enter your life? :autism:

There was this reetarded black kid at my school in first grade. He looked about 10 years older than all the other kids and used to stay under this tree at recess. He always had a dumb, blank smile on his face and if you'd get close to him he'd lift you up and toss you as far as he could. Naturally, we made it a game to make him chase us around and if he caught you, you lost (and got tossed).
I think that was me
 
A childhood friend of mine had an older brother with severe autism. He kept to himself and owned a ton of Disney toys which you would never see him without. He was also non-verbal aside from the rare instances where he would say someone's name - usually a character's. His mom once told us that, because his gym teacher was a big fat guy, he would call him Baloo and Shrek. Last I heard, he had to be moved into a group home because he'd become violent.

I was in 2nd grade when I met the autism species, kid named Aaron Akridge.
Now Aaron was a smart fucker but god damn was he a fucking exceptional, he would reee if people whistled, shit himself then stick his fingers in his undies and whip em back out to sniff, used to chase a girl named Jasmine around because he liked her but I mean it was literally every recess you'd see this girl running from a horny autist, sad but funny. In 3rd grade he would race anyone and attack them if they tried getting to class first, one day I did just that but he couldn't catch ol niggernerd the hedgehog, so I get in the class and it's dark so I decide to play the mac then the fucking exceptional hulk kicks open the door and starts rambling at me (literally incoherent reetard words) he was charging at me then I kicked him in the balls. No one saw so teacher made us do some stupid trial thing and I won the case because not a reetard thus he got 1 week of recess time out.
now our special boy stuck around us (all the same grade kids of the school)
until highschool. He got uglier and hairy but was still the same exceptional we knew. I don't really remember much from highschool because was too busy being a degenerate weed head getting thrashed before the first day of school each year and skipping to go play metal slug at nearby bowling ally or friends to get high and play ps2/ps3

My first legitimate run in with the tism happened around when I was fourteen. I was 'dating' this guy who's brother had some kind of autism. Dude had a ton of Naruto, Bleach, and Ben 10 posters toys all over his room and he smelled like he never bathed. I guess I always knew he was slow but it wasn't until I yelled at him one day for being annoying that his mom told me he had autism.
 
Knew a kid that was really, really weird. When the school found out he has Aspergers, they let students know and explain it to us when he was out of the room. I thought it was weird but whatever.

6 months later, I was diagnosed with that stuff. In hindsight I didn't really feel like I had any of the signs until I hit about 6th grade, where I suddenly got panic attacks up the ass to the point where I couldn't even leave my house unless I was heavily medicated. I became a recluse over a 2-3 month period; By the time I eventually came back, lost nearly all my friends, except my current best friend, who stuck around even when I was gone.

I never really liked being labelled as a sperg because I thought it was too much of a crutch. I was doing fine when I wasn't labelled and I'm doing alright now. In fact, I'm doing so "well" that most doctors and people never notice I'm a sperg unless I specifically point it out to them, which I almost never do unless someone brings up the topic.

I've been using the terms sperg, autist, and autistic as an insult for nearly ten years just because I can get away with it.

That's the most I'll share without revealing too much about myself.
 
My brother and I got diagnosed at around four and my mom explained it to us a couple years later.

My first experience with it outside of my family was during high school when I sat next to this guy who was mostly non-verbal. He tended to rock back and forth, he grunted and made soft laughs, and he would sometimes get aggressive. Not to the point of violence, but you can tell when he was angry.

Hope the dude's doing alright for himself.
 
In my HS there was a chick with aspergers who had an obsession with writing star trek fan fiction. I saw her with her dad one time, he was a complete douche who treated his special needs daughter like you might expect a really shitty yuppie to treat his girlfriend's Lhasa Apso when he's forced to walk it at 2 in the morning. In her fanfics, Kirk & Spock loved each other (totally unoriginal bullshit). She would read them aloud at people as they ate lunch in the yard sometimes and they would tell her to shut up and call her a "ree-ree", which was short for exceptional.

Poor girl couldn't get a break.
 
I was born with it, baby.

My cousin was diagnosed at age five. I never heard the word autism before, so I thought my cousin was artistic. Keep in mind this is the early 2000s before autism became the new ADHD.

Encyclopedia fucking dramatica was where I learned more about the ‘tism and Chris-Chan back in the mid to late 2000s.

Gosh, I feel old now. (:_(
